Reproof, Especially As It Relates

Honest And Courageous People Have Very Little To Say About Either Their Courage Or Their Honesty. The Sun Has No Need To Boast Of His Brightness, Nor The Moon Of Her Effulgence.

Of All The Ingenious Mistakes Into Which Erring Man Has Fallen, Perhaps None Have Been So Pernicious In Their Consequences, Or Have Brought So Many Evils Into The World, As The Popular Opinion That The Way Of The Transgressor Is Pleasant And Easy.

Most People Who Commit A Sin Count On Some Personal Benefit To Be Derived Therefrom, But Profanity Has Not Even This Excuse.

That Kind Of Discipline Whose Pungent Severity Is In The Manifestations Of Paternal Love, Compassion, And Tenderness Is The Most Sure Of Its Object.

No Outward Change Need Trouble Him Who Is Inwardly Serene.
